RE: TAKE PART IN AN ON-GOING EXPERIMENT! Systemic Consensus - How can people better participate in democratic processes?
I hope you'll get to the results eventually, I'm curious to see what comes out!
I also really like the quotation! It's a beautifully written analogy, truly something to think about. What was the context of that story? I have read it a few times over already but I still feel the need to read it just one more time.
Me, too. I hope, I will collect some more data.
The context of that story is a dialogue with a steemit friend and a struggle with anger. I wanted to show to him that anger is not something which someone brings upon us but something we create in ourselves as something we identify with. Once anger dominates us emotionally we fail to see that what we expect from others - to be good and insightful - they expect from us as well. If both expectations stay unchanged cooperation and peace is hard to find. One can be willing to change this habit and make oneself having experiences of better kinds to find positivity in human relationships. It also pays into decision making processes. If the framework and rules are altered, it often changes the mindsets as well.
Nicely written, I think it's a great way of viewing the world. I think people quickly run the risk of retreating in their own little world of emotions. But by telling it in a more abstract story really let's you think about it.
